Which is why I only rent cheap, elderly airplanes


A cheap elderly airplane can do damage to costly things and people too. You
are not covered for that without renters insurance.


Oh I buy the insurance, but I buy just enough hull insurance to pay for the
elderly hull. It leaves me more money for actual flying.

I'm with you on this. I fly older 172s to limit my exposure.
Liability insurance is cheap and easy to get, and I have it. On the
other hand, hull insurance for renters is expensive and not generally
available in large numbers. So, I'm covered for the damage that I may
do to costly things or people and I have enough hull coverage to cover
most of the damage to a "cheap" plane.
